New Life
Chapter 1
Rapunzel and Flynn stared into each other's eyes while they were surrounded by floating lanterns on the river.
They were about to kiss and Rapunzel knew that Flynn was hesitating.
'Why won't he kiss me?' she thought. 'Just a little closer.'
"What is it?" she asked.
"It's nothing." Flynn said as he sighed. "There's just something that I have to take care of first." He rowed to back to the riverbank.
"What do you mean?" Rapunzel asked.
"Don't worry." Flynn said as he took the bag. "I'll be right back."
"I'll be here." She said as he walked away from Rapunzel and the boat.
About five minutes later Rapunzel noticed someone walking in the fog that surrounded everything.
Rapunzel sighed with relief. "I thought that you took the bag and left me here."
She heard someone laughing from the fog and two men approached her.
"He did."
Rapunzel took a step back. "Who are you?"
They smiled.
"We are the Stabbington Brothers." One of them said. "No doubt you've heard of us."
Rapunzel nodded. "What have you done with Flynn?"
The brother with the eye patch grinned. "He took off with the crown when he had the chance. But not before he told us about the girl with the magic hair."
"What? No. No Flynn would never do that."
The older brother walked over to her side and touched her hair. "How much do you think people would pay us in order to stay young and beautiful forever?"
The taller brother walked to Rapunzel's side and touched her hair. "I think lots. Think about it. We'll be rich in no time."
Pascal came out of Rapunzel's hair and bit the brother with the Eye Patch on his foot.
He jumped as he bit him and kicked Pascal away in the woods.
"Pascal, no!"
"Pesky thing."
"You don't have to worry about your little friend anymore." Said the older brother.
"Please don't do this." Rapunzel said.
"Rapunzel." Came a voice.
